WHY THIS IS A FAVORITEThis is true focal painting for a room, and it and the other two we sold had that quality and both hung in our living room. We think our original price was half what it should bring, so we reduce it even more.

Arun Bose

1934-2007
India - America
40" x 40" - 1980s

The art of Arun Bose is non-narrative, non-linguistic and non-interpretive. It is pure visceral, virtuoso, visual impact. It is delivered by a highly trained and gifted hand, guided by an emotive and sensitive eye and contemplated by a precise, immaculate mind. By his own admission, he draws on the vibrant colors of his native land.

As noted by the Kolkata newspaper The Telegraph at the time of his retrospective exhibition in 2004, "Arun Bose's legacy as artist and teacher, his very own art expression, will remain that of 'A New Yorker with Bengal in his canvas'."

A comparable painting was estimated a $18-22000 (+22.5%) at Sotheby’s in 2007. His smaller multiple edition lithographs go for $800+ in the resale market.
